Financial membership of the Austin Healey owners club offers the opportunity to use the Vicroads Club Permit
Scheme, enabling you to drive your Austin Healey for any purpose you wish other than commercial use or financial gain, for 45 or 90
days per annum. The scheme comes at a significant cost savings compared to full registration, plus 4.2% stamp duty is not applied.A number of insurance companies offer comprehensive insurance at a reduced rate.

There are also responsibilities attached, the key
ones being :

-Number plates and windscreen label must be correctly displayed.

-The car must be
maintained in a ‘safe condition’.

-A logbook must be carried in the car, and for every day the car is used, an entry
must be made in the logbook before leaving the garaged address. (it is easy to forget to do this and police do conduct CPS logbook
checks)

-The permit holder must be a current financial member of the car club, ie you can’t legally drive the car
if club membership fees haven’t been paid by the due date of December 31

-The car cannot be used for the 'carriage
of goods or passengers for hire or reward’.

-Permits are not transferrable so if you sell the vehicle you must
notify VicRoads and the club immediately as well as destroy the label, logbook and remove the plates.

Penalties for failing to
comply with the conditions of the permit may include significant fines, suspension or expulsion from the CPS and possibly deemed to
be driving an unregistered vehicle and all the associated legal consequences. AHOC strongly recommends that all club permit holders
familiarise themselves with the conditions of the permit. Full details of CPS are available at https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/registration/limited-use-permits/club-permit-scheme.

Procedure
to obtain a Club Permit

Click Hereto go to the VicRoads website page detailing the procedure for obtaining a club permit. There
are a few points to note :

·Currently Brian Aitken is the AHOC signatory for the Vehicle
Eligibility and Standards Declaration form and Club Permit Application form.Brian is based in Frankston and is contactable
on 03 8759 6845 or 0419 025 858 orvicroadscpsofficer@healeyvic.com.au

·VicRoads require that the club keep dated photographs of at least the front, driver’s side, rear, driving position (with driver’s
door open), chassis number and engine number.AHOC require that applicants provide these photos, preferably digitally in .jpg
file format.The photos should be at minimum be as per the samples below

Many digital cameras
have a date stamp function that can be turned on and off. Most computers also allow you to turn off the function that strips the 'date
photo taken' metadata from a .jpg file when it is being emailed.If your computing skills can manage this, you can probably
email the photos to Brian in advance of going to have the documents signed.

·At the time of signing
the Declaration and Application documents, AHOC will also require proof of ownership and certificate of roadworthiness (RWC).VicRoads will also require these documents. For vehicles modified in excess of VSI 8 or VSI 33, a VASS approval certificate
will also be required.

·Once VicRoads have issued you with a permit, you MUST promptly
notify AHOC of your permit details, particularly permit number and expiry date. Contact Brian Aitken on vicroadscpsofficer@healeyvic.com.auor
03 8759 6845 or 0419 025 858 .

Renewing your Permit

Step 1:VicRoads should mail you a renewal form

Please consider that this is an entirely voluntary
position and including a pre-addressed and stamped envelope for the return of the documents would be appreciated.

Step 4:Submit the signed renewal form to VicRoads and pay the renewal fee. This can be done at any VicRoads Customer Service Centre or mail
the signed renewal to VicRoads with payment of the fee, to VicRoads. Postal address is on the form.

Points to
note

CPS plates are only manufactured in a maroon background with white characters and there is no choice of numbers. Age
related plates and vanity plates cannot be used on the CPS.

Left hand drive vehicles more than 25 years old may participate in
the scheme.

Some States or Territories do not recognize the CPS and require a permit from the registration and licensing authority
in that State or Territory to legally drive in that State or Territory. It is strongly recommended that drivers of CPS vehicles
check before driving interstate.

-For cars built after 1948, a Certificate of Roadworthiness from a VicRoads Licensed Tester
is now the only acceptable evidence of the 'safe for on-road use' requirement.

-Applicants for new club permits
will be required to provide proof of ownership.

-Applicants for new club permits will be required to provide the
club with dated photographs of the car.

-Changes to and clarification of ‘acceptable modifications’. Recognising
that the Vehicle Modifications Guidelines document known as VSI8 is intended for modern cars, a version known as VSI33 specifically
for vehicles on CPS has been issued and it defines modifications that can be made without engineering certification dependent on age
category of the vehicle in question. In the 1949 to 1968 age category, the types of modifications that might be treated more leniently
than previously are not commonly seen on AHOC eligible cars and there are many other types of modifications that are expected to require
engineering certification the same as VSI8 which is the long standing CPS rule.

-Introduction of a new permit category
for modified vehicles requiring engineering certification. These will be 5 digits followed by M.
